⤵ Sell · next 3 monthsIts one sale in the last 3 months, $25, was far above the about $8 it sold for in the nine months before. After a jump like this the next sales usually came in lower than the jump sale, though well above the old price (1,655 cards since 2019). The set is rising, but this card has already jumped well ahead of it.

🗑️ The Garbologist says…

Too Few Recent Sales
The Garbologist sniffed around the sales pile.
  • 3 recorded sales · 2 in the last year · trades only a few times a year · limited-confidence sample.
  • The recent trail reads $6 → $8 → $25 — choppy but broadly rangebound.
  • Heads up: the last recorded sale ($25 on 2026-09-05) landed 47% above our current value — weigh it as a single data point.
  • Census check: PSA has graded 193 of this card, and only 37.8% come back a 10 — gems fairly readily.
  • None

🧬 Should I slab it?

Keep it raw

About 1 in 3 copies of this card get a 10, and a 9 is worth $32 — less than the $92 it costs to grade.

Expected value if gradedunder $0 (the likely slab, $54, is $38 short of the $92 all-in cost)
Raw value today$2 (from 61 raw sales)
VerdictKeep it raw

Break-even: you need about a 96% chance of a PSA 10 (this card: 38%).

How these numbers work
All-in cost $92: PSA Standard tier fee $60 per card, insured shipping to PSA ~$12, PSA insured return shipping ~$20. Sending it to your PSA Vault instead skips return shipping (vault intake and storage are free): ~$72 all-in, so a graded copy would net ~under $0.
Grade odds (this card, 193 PSA-graded): 10 · 38%, 9 · 36%, 8 · 13%, 7 or lower · 13%. People send their best copies, so a random raw copy usually grades a bit lower.
Values when it comes back (~95 days, about Feb 12, 2027): today's values +10% (half the set's 3-month rise of 25%, capped at +10%).
Expected value if graded = each grade's chance × its value, minus the all-in cost. A guide, not a guarantee — centering and corners on your copy decide the grade.
